HB 2208 Tennessee House · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

State Government - As enacted, clarifies that the four trustees for other post-employment benefits may appoint a designee in their absence. - Amends TCA Section 8-27-801.

HB 2208 clarifies that the four trustees overseeing Tennessee's post-employment benefits may appoint a designee to act on their behalf when absent. This procedural bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated Section 8-27-801 to explicitly state that each trustee position (including the finance commissioner, Senate finance chair, House finance chair, and retirement system board chair) can use a designee. It does not change benefit amounts or eligibility but streamlines administrative operations for retirement trustees. The bill affects the governance structure of the state's retirement system administration.
